That is the most ridiculous nonsense that is inherent in matheology,but, of course, it is required to maintain it. If there is anymeaningful limit of a sequence of sets, then this limit is a set andas such has a cardinality. If both diverge, then we have the proofthat the limit set is not a meaningful notion.

Nevertheless, I did not use this sover fact in order to show you, thatnot even nonsense is sufficient to maintain set theory.>> > 3) The limit of the number of digits in analysis: oo>> This is the limit of the cardinals.

This is the improper analytical limit L of the sequence of numbers.This are real numbers, in the opinion of some cranks like Greinacherthey differ from cardinals. You seem to be of different opinion. Bythe way it is astonishing if not surprising how many differentopinions matheologians entertain.>> Since the limit of the cardinals does not equal the> cardinality of the limit, there is no reason the number> of digits in the cardinality of the limit should be the> same as the number of digits in the limit of the cardinals

Perhaps that would be possible in set theory, but not in analysis. Inanalysis we have the set of digits of the limit L and we have the setof indexes of these digits. The set of indexes is 1 + the decadiclogarithm of L. Never heard about that fact? But even if you don'tknow, be sure every mathematician knows.
